The NX500 is a essentially a scaled down version of Samsung’s flagship NX500. The Samsung NX500 uses the same 28MB BSI-CMOS sensor, advanced hybrid AF system, and DRIMe V processor as the NX500, with the main differences being the design (rangefinder vs SLR), burst mode (9 vs 15 fps), and viewfinder (none vs electronic). The NX500 can still record 4K and UHD video (at 24p and 30p respectively) using the 4K HEVC/H.265, though it cannot output clean video over HDMI. If you are trying to edit the NX500 4K HEVC (H.265) footage in iMovie, you may run into an issue that iMovie won’t recognize NX500 4K H.265 files. 

That’s mainly because iMovie does not full support for H.265/HEVC into iMovie. In this situation, you will need to convert Samsung NX500 4K H.265/HEVC video to a format that is fully compatible with iMovie, such as Apple’s InterMediate Codec encoded MOV, which iMovie will recognize and handle nicely.
